Leaps & Bounds Early Childhood Education Program
Leaps and Bounds Early Childhood Education Program fosters the development of the whole child: the social, emotional, physical and intellectual selves. Each child is recognized and valued as a unique individual and is allowed to grow and develop at his/her own rate. The program offers an interactive environment with a relaxed and flexible atmosphere. Staff support children’s curiosity and exploration with the goal being to inspire a lifelong love of learning.
Leaps and Bounds Early Childhood Education Program is committed to offer quality child care to infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school-age children to meet the needs of families. We support working parents/ guardians by providing a safe and secure environment that is staffed by caregivers who guide and direct children with love, respect, concern, and acceptance. We believe in developing a respectful partnership with parents/guardians to help children develop to their full potential.
